When the score was 1-0, Fernando Mengazzo was sent off. Referee Merk had no other option but to show the Brazilian midfielder a straight red card for headbutting John Arne Riise. Liverpool immediately made their man advantage count, when Gerrard and García scored two more goals. PSV and Liverpool, who meet on Wednesday 22 November in Liverpool, will vie for first place in group C, while Galatasaray and Bordeaux hope to finish third, making sure of qualification for the UEFA Cup tournament.
